South African Crocodiles 'in Mass Escape' During Floods by homesteady(m): 4:58pm On Jan 24, 2013
About 15,000 crocodiles have reportedly
escaped from a farm in South Africa's far
north amid heavy rains and flooding.
The owner was forced to open the crocodile
farm's gates on Sunday to prevent a storm
surge, the local Beeld newspaper says.
Many of the crocodiles have been
recaptured, but more than half are still on
the loose, it says.
The floods have killed at least 10 people in
Limpopo province.
The crocodiles escaped from the Rakwena
Crocodile Farm, a tourist site about 15km
(nine miles) from the small town of Pontdrif,
which borders Botswana.

Zane Langman, the son-in-law of the farm's
owner, told the newspaper that many of the
crocodiles had escaped into dense bush and
the Limpopo River, the second biggest in
South Africa.
"There used to be only a few crocodiles in
the Limpopo River. Now there are a lot. We
go to catch them as soon as farmers call us
to inform us about crocodiles," said Mr
Langman.
"I heard there were crocodiles in Musina
[about 120km away] on the school's rugby
field."
Mr Langman said he went to rescue friends
in a flooded house in the area by boat on
Sunday.
"When we reached them, the crocodiles
were swimming around them. Praise the
Lord, they were all alive," he is quoted as
saying.
The South African Air Force is being used to
rescue people affected by the flooding in
remote settlements, some of which are cut
off from the outside world.
The floods have also affected neighbouring
Mozambique, where tens of thousands of
people have been evacuated from their
homes
